PICK MY NEXT BALL AT NATIONALS (The Winner is)
« on: June 22, 2007, 01:07:24 PM »
I'm leaving Monday for Reno and would like to buy a ball.  I'm looking for one for heavy oil, I have a lot of speed with medium hand.  Give me your suggestions and we'll see who gets it.

I got the Visionary Centaur Particle.  This ball flat out hooks it's but off.  I threw straight up 5 the first ball in practice at Nationals and the ball went in the left gutter!  My only dissapointment is that I won't get to use this ball to often.  Maybe I'll be able to for my PBA league.  Thanks to all who suggested this ball.  It will be a long time before I ever have to buy another heavy oil ball.

Wait for the new NVS by Ebonite when it comes out.  It is supposed to be almost 2 arrows stronger than the Total NV and can be tweaked quite a bit for a variety of ball reactions.

Since you want to buy it at the Nationals, check on the AMB Particle by Visionary.  It will suit your style the best with the particle cover and high flaring core.  On heavy oil, nothing comes close.

I would be remissed if I didn't recommend a Special Agent with some surface probablly 500, there has been quite a bit of success with this ball at Nationals so far this year...Good luck

I was kinda hoping for the Secret to already be released.  I may just wait for this ball.  Still undecided.  Would you rather have the Special or the Secret?

If you are looking for a heavy oil ball, consider the Brunswick Mammoth or the Roto-Grip Epic Battle.

I have to agree with TWOHAND834 and say the AMB Particle by Visionary.  That is going to be about the heaviest oil ball you will ever find.  If you don't want quite that much ball, then step down to a Frankie May or Immortal Solid.

I thought the AMB Particle and the Centaur particle was the same ball.  The AMB Cetnuar particle (blue).

The best heavy oil ball I found that wsa useable is the Evolution Tour.  The AMB Centar particle is for a flood even after I took it up to 1000 Ablaron.  Pin two inches above the bridge and the CG stacked.  Still can't find a place to throw this ball.  Maybe last year at the BTM tournament.

Good luck at the Nationls.
